`delete' may modify the list, so other references into the list may get
surprising results after you've modified it.
The current doc string is kinda obscure, though. It stars with
---
Delete by side effect any occurrences of ELT as a member of SEQ.
---
which is like "err".
Perhaps something like
Delete any occurrences of ELT from SEQ. This operation may
destructively modify SEQ. See `remove' for a non-destructive version.
would be more readable.
